What is New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program? New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) works with private developers to encourage the voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties known as “brownfields” so that they can be reused and developed. These uses include recreation, housing, and business. A brownfield is any real property that is difficult to reuse or redevelop because of the presence or potential presence of contamination. A brownfield typically is a former industrial or commercial property where operations may have resulted in environmental contamination. A brownfield can pose environmental, legal, and financial burdens on a community. If a brownfield is not addressed, it can reduce property values in the area and affect economic development of nearby properties. The BCP is administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) which oversees Applicants who conduct brownfield site investigation and cleanup activities. An Applicant is a person who has requested to participate in the BCP and has been accepted by NYSDEC. The BCP contains investigation and cleanup requirements, ensuring that cleanups protect public health and the environment. When NYSDEC certifies that these requirements have been met, the property can be reused or redeveloped for the intended use. For more information about the BCP, go online at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/8450.html . 3 Citizen Participation Plan – 131-10 to 131-18 Avery Ave, Flushing, NY 2. Citizen Participation Activities Why NYSDEC Involves the Public and Why It Is Important NYSDEC involves the public to improve the process of investigating and cleaning up contaminated sites, and to enable citizens to participate more fully in decisions that affect their health, environment, and social well-being. NYSDEC provides opportunities for citizen involvement and encourages early two-way communication with citizens before decision-makers form or adopt final positions. Involving citizens affected and interested in site investigation and cleanup programs is important for many reasons. These include: Promoting the development of timely, effective site investigation and cleanup programs that protect public health and the environment Improving public access to, and understanding of, issues and information related to a particular site and that site’s investigation and cleanup process Providing citizens with early and continuing opportunities to participate in NYSDEC’s site investigation and cleanup process Ensuring that NYSDEC makes site investigation and cleanup decisions that benefit from input that reflects the interests and perspectives found within the affected community Encouraging dialogue to promote the exchange of information among the affected/interested public, State agencies, and other interested parties that strengthens trust among the parties, increases understanding of site and community issues and concerns, and improves decision making. This Citizen Participation (CP) Plan provides information about how NYSDEC will inform and involve the public during the investigation and cleanup of the site identified above. The public information and involvement program will be carried out with assistance, as appropriate, from the Applicant. Project Contacts Appendix A identifies NYSDEC project contact(s) to whom the public should address questions or request information about the site’s investigation and cleanup program. The public’s suggestions about this CP Plan and the CP program for the site are always welcome. Interested people are encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions with the project contacts at any time. Locations of Reports and Information The locations of the reports and information related to the site’s investigation and cleanup program also are identified in Appendix A. These locations provide convenient access to important project documents for public review and comment. Some documents may be placed on the NYSDEC web 4 Citizen Participation Plan – 131-10 to 131-18 Avery Ave, Flushing, NY site. If this occurs, NYSDEC will inform the public in fact sheets distributed about the site and by other means, as appropriate. Site Contact List Appendix B contains the site contact list. This list has been developed to keep the community informed about, and involved in, the site’s investigation and cleanup process. The site contact list will be used periodically to distribute fact sheets that provide updates about the status of the project. These will include notifications of upcoming activities at the site (such as fieldwork), as well as availability of project documents and announcements about public comment periods. The site contact list includes, at a minimum: Chief executive officer and planning board chairperson of each county, city, town and village in which the site is located; Residents, owners, and occupants of the site and properties adjacent to the site; The public water supplier which services the area in which the site is located; Any person who has requested to be placed on the site contact list; The administrator of any school or day care facility located on or near the site for purposes of posting and/or dissemination of information at the facility; Location(s) of reports and information. The site contact list will be reviewed periodically and updated as appropriate. Individuals and organizations will be added to the site contact list upon request. Such requests should be submitted to the NYSDEC project contact(s) identified in Appendix A. Other additions to the site contact list may be made at the discretion of the NYSDEC project manager, in consultation with other NYSDEC staff as appropriate. Note: The first site fact sheet (usually related to the draft Remedial Investigation Work Plan) is distributed both by paper mailing through the postal service and through DEC Delivers, its email listserv service. The fact sheet includes instructions for signing up with the appropriate county listserv to receive future notifications about the site. See http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/61092.html . Subsequent fact sheets about the site will be distributed exclusively through the listserv, except for households without internet access that have indicated the need to continue to receive site information in paper form. Please advise the NYSDEC site project manager identified in Appendix A if that is the case. Paper mailings may continue during the investigation and cleanup process for some sites, based on public interest and need. CP Activities The table at the end of this section identifies the CP activities, at a minimum, that have been and will be conducted during the site’s investigation and cleanup program. The flowchart in Appendix D shows how these CP activities integrate with the site investigation and cleanup process. The public is informed about these CP activities through fact sheets and notices distributed at 5 Citizen Participation Plan – 131-10 to 131-18 Avery Ave, Flushing, NY significant points during the program. Elements of the investigation and cleanup process that match up with the CP activities are explained briefly in Section 5. Notices and fact sheets help the interested and affected public to understand contamination issues related to a site, and the nature and progress of efforts to investigate and clean up a site. Public forums, comment periods and contact with project managers provide opportunities for the public to contribute information, opinions and perspectives that have potential to influence decisions

  • Planning in Neighborhoods with Multiple Publics
    Journal of Planning Education and Research OnlineFirst, published on April 20, 2010 as doi:10.1177/0739456X10368700 Journal of Planning Education and Research XX(X) 1 –17 Planning in Neighborhoods with © 2010 Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Reprints and permission: http://www. Multiple Publics: Opportunities sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0739456X10368700 and Challenges for Community-Based http://jpe.sagepub.com Nonprofit Organizations Tarry Hum1 Abstract New York City is the quintessential immigrant gateway, and its transformation to a majority “minority” city is evident in the complex demography of its numerous neighborhoods. Based on detailed case studies of two neighborhoods undergoing significant development pressures that pose a dramatic reshaping of community life, this article examines whether New York City community boards serve as a “pivotal” public arena to mitigate racial tensions and meaningfully engage diverse stakeholders including immigrants in neighborhood planning. The case studies of Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens demonstrate that community boards do not necessarily engage all stakeholders in meaningful or sustained ways and are limited in advancing race relations in a challenging socioeconomic context. This article substantiates how community-based nonprofit organizations are essential to the institutional landscape of immigrant neighborhoods by engaging multiple publics in community planning. Keywords immigrants, community boards, neighborhood planning, zoning, community-based nonprofit organizations Introduction political landscape includes fifty-nine community boards that serve an official, albeit advisory, role on city service New York City is a quintessential immigrant gateway, and delivery, land use and zoning, and budgetary matters (Marcuse its transformation to a majority “minority” city is evident in 1990).
